Change is always hard, but there’s something beautiful about watching a young player prepared to fill the boots of a club legend. For Cody Gakpo, the boots in question are huge—and ones that we’re not ready to let go off yet—but he’s as ready as he’ll ever be. “(Gus) Hiddink was the first [to mention switching to a number nine role],” Gakpo told Dutch site AD over the weekend. “He spent a while at PSV as a sounding board, saw me busy and said: ‘You have to become a striker or a false striker, Cody’. I didn’t want to believe that then. And also not when Roger Schmidt said the same thing later at PSV. I was more stubborn than now, felt good on the left flank.” “But at the last World Cup I was already more central on the field and at “We play with two wingers who stay high and a striker who can also lower himself to participate in midfield. Klopp saw me doing that, he said after my arrival in January. And now I do too,” Gakpo added. “With us you have Mo Salah on the right flank, he has shown it at the top level for many years. I would rather see him as the ‘leader’ in our attack. I don’t think status is that important anyway. I want to help the team I play in. And I now enjoy doing that from this position.” © 2023 Gambling Problem?

Liverpool drew 1-1 at home against Aston Villa as their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League are hanging by a thread. A defeat for Liverpool would have ended their Champions League hopes but Roberto Firmino (who else?) popped up with a late equalizer to keep the Reds’ top four hopes alive. For now. FULL MATCH REPLAY After Ollie Watkins missed a penalty kick to put Aston Villa ahead, Jacob Ramsey did make it 1-0 and stunned Anfield in the first half. Before half time Tyrone Mings caught Cody Gakpo with a very high tackle but despite VAR having a look, no red card was dished out. However, Liverpool pushed hard for an equalizer in the second half as Gakpo was denied a goal by VAR due to off an offside. Enter: Roberto Firmino. In his final home game as a Liverpool player Firmino jumped off the bench and in the 90th minute finished a great cross from Mohamed Salah to give Liverpool hope of winning it late on. They didn’t find a winner and are up against it as they try and qualify for the Champions League.

AMSTERDAM, June 11 (Reuters) - Cody Gakpo is keenly looking forward to playing at centre forward for the Netherlands in this week’s Nations League finals after being thrust into the position over the last months at Liverpool, and with Dutch first choice Memphis Depay ruled out. Gakpo, 24, built his reputation as a left winger at PSV Eindhoven but was switched to striker after moving to Liverpool in January. "Now that I'm playing at Liverpool I think it's a nice position," he told reporters on Sunday as the Netherlands prepared for the four-nation tournament. They face Croatia in Rotterdam on Wednesday in the first semi-final. With Depay sidelined through injury, Gakpo is expected to lead the line for the hosts. "I have become convinced that being a striker suits me," said Gakpo, adding that several coaches had previously tried to convince him to make the switch but he had resisted. "Guus Hiddink was the first. He spent a while at PSV as a sounding board, saw me play and said: 'You have to become a striker or a false No. 9’. I didn't want to believe it then. And then when Roger Schmidt said the same thing later at PSV when he was coach, I was even more stubborn. It felt good on the left flank. “But at the last World Cup I was already more central on the field and at Liverpool permanently in the past six months. It’s been good. I'm excited now to get better in the position in the near future, for the club as well as the national team.” Jurgen Klopp’s decision to shift Gakpo ...

By India Today Sports Desk: Netherlands rising star Cody Gakpo has started to feel comfortable in the role of a striker. Gakpo, who was one of Netherlands' best player in the FIFA World Cup 2022 has said that he is fine with the idea of shifting from the wings to a main striker role. One of the breakout stars in the FIFA World Cup 2022, Gakpo was signed by Premier League club Liverpool. Gakpo did not get to play at the wings and took time to adjust to the new system under Jurgen Klopp. The 24-year-old forward will be expected to replace Memphis Depay in the playing XI who has been ruled out from the clash vs Croatia in the Nations League semi-final.
